this great corporation do this If h'dare.
While the Helena service is far in advance

cannot curtail it's services in Butte without

Our Winnipeg special gives an alarming
account of the Indian situation in the
Northwest Territories of the British
Possessions. The Blackfeet and the Crees
are threatening to go on the war path.
Should they do this the settlers on either
side of the line would be in grave peril OF
their lives. With these wild redskins on
the wal path, a more powerful force than
was ever employed by the. authorities
would be required to quell them.

British subjects were restrained from de-

The Fire Department had a meeting at
the City Hall last evening at which nothing
of Importance ftransp7red: 1T was CON
vened by the rather unusual method Of
ringing the belyJ-7pot, 90 Tor a fire, but with
the gentle, regular Standardization. that is
characteristic of the call. to. church. a
COMMITTEES of three. consisting of Messrs.
Duffy, Fisher and O'Brien was appointed
to wait on the City Council at it's next
meeting for the ~'purpose'4of '~ascertaini,'g
the views OF hat body in reference to the
appointment of q Fire. Marshal. Com
plant was made by some OF the members
that the fire apparatus is not looked after
properly. The members of the depart
ment get no pay and have no time to, de-
vote to it's care. The city, has heretofore
employed q man for the purpose and lie
supposed to do so now.
A MEMBER OF THE DEPARTMENT
speaking to a representative Of The MINER
last evening said: ut is really a shame
the unconcern with which the people OF this
town who own buildings and stocks OF
valuable goods regard the proceedings of
the Fire Department.. They ought to know
that the only safeguard they have from the
devouring element is the volunteer corps
which serve the fire apparatus. and yet,
though they are, least interested. The
City Council, too, is very dilatory in
regard to the Fire Department.
At present there is no head to it, and the
apparatus is ehamefully neglected. The
men begin to realize this, and they will re-
fleet the Indifference Of the community in
laxity of discipline when the need for thor
most apparent: ,fhe public ought to take
more interest in the fire laddies and make
them feel that they realize the obligations
they are under to the boys" -. o,.'

The syndicate which recently came into

wisely resolved t. change the management
from the boyish Robert Garrett, to the

by men who are too young as we'll as those
who are too old and should be placed on
